Onward, EDDH to EDDF.

Down at EDDF. Great weather this flight. Going to let the Heinkel people look over the aircraft, make sure everything is ok.

Good to see an instance of GW3 being used ... perfect event for it.


Great Job ... all the best in to Cape Horn!

Thanks Salt.

Its off to the Alps. Hand flying. No autopilot.

EDDF to LIPB.

 

[robert41]

Safe down at LIPB. Weather was rainy and rough taking off from EDDF, cloudy and rainy at LIPB. Not bad in between.

Forgot to add the bonus, 2hr for LIPB and 15 min hand flying from a fuel stop.

 

[robert41]

Ok, we are ready for LSMI, I hope.

LIPB to LSMI.

 

[robert41]

Down, safe at LSMI. Actually I thought this was going to be one of the harder ones, but turned out pretty good.

15min bonus LIPB to LSMI and 15min bonus staying below 12000ft.

Some pics of the flight. Vis was real bad taking off, fair enroute, not too bad landing.

 

[robert41]

Off to Marseille. LSMI to LFML. Still hand flying.

 

[robert41]

Down safe at LFML. Weather was soup taking off, as expected. Had a nice headwind to climb in, then a nice tail wind all the rest of the way. Decided to fly north and around the big hills, and track the NDBs. Weather cleared for a little bit, then clouds and low visibility the rest of the way. Good flight. 15min bonus hand flying to a fuel stop.

Been getting things ready for Africa. Another day or two, and we will be off. Still trying to find our navigation light bulbs, somebody took them for the party lights.

I really like the lines of the Heinkel fast transport. Good show Robert.

Thanks Moses.
